You know that idea of a White Christmas, yeah?
That really comes from the Little Ice Age (1600 - 1800) ? Hmmm? (And Dickens remembering once upon a time.)
Well it turns out that *that* was due to the way we genocided (fancy word for murdered a whole lot of people) on both sides of the Atlantic.
So many that we decarbonised the atmosphere and triggered the cold.
We have not been good stewards of the planet

@hypostase @jonesmurphy AKA the Ruddiman hypothesis. And by the way, it is not correct to call the whole event a genocide: most of the dying was caused by epidemics of European germs that spread among a native American population lacking immunity to them.

I think you are (intentionally) missing the point.
Maybe we did not kill every single last person, that's really hard to do.
We killed enough to affect the climate, whether through arms, or biological warfare is immaterial.
That you might not want to call it genocide says nothing about that.
